Welcome to POTPOLITICS

Blogcatalog is located here in San Antonio Texas. In the year that I have been blogging I was a member for awhile. The site is well known to many. In the time that I have watched it there has been many changes. So on a beautiful sunny day I set out to try and get a chance to ask the owner a few questions. I also thought because blogging is a worldwide phenomenon that bloggers around the world would like to see a ON THE FLY PRODUCTIONS
video created on a simple digital camera on the fly NO edits OBviously.
After watching the video I will tell you that I sometimes can see why I’m NOT fit for society, I was a little hyped up and I apologize for the parts where I over talk Oscar.
I had the pleasure of meeting Oscar a few months ago. Many people know I’m not a big fan of MOST of the people in San Antonio but Oscar is the type of guy you could talk with FOREVER. A genuinely cool person and we love cool people here at POTPOLITICS, for sure.
So I really want to keep telling you how cool and nice Oscar is but we will move on. Thanks Oscar for real.
I like the part where I realize that I was wrong about the real purpose of the site. When I was a member I was ready to visit blogs and build a crew of follow bloggers that would look out for each other.
Well many of us know that isn’t really how blogging REALLY IS ![]()
But the essence of this post is all positive. I did have some beefs about how I was treated. I didn’t agree with many of their decisions but guess what IT’S NOT MY SITE. I also realized that when it’s all said and done I don’t hate anyone. I also think it’s a good site for bloggers that mainly want to chit chat and learn about blogging.
Now I didn’t prepare to make this video. I also don’t have a very good style of asking questions.
I shouldn’t of said a few things and I should of been calm and called first. Anyway I hope if your a fan of blogcatalog and Oscar’s you get something out of the video. Even if it’s how NOT TO make one.
To all the people of San Antonio and the people on and connected with Blogcatalog. Peace
I’m happy to see google restored their page rank to 7
The reason I’m adding these stats from dnSCOOP (not totally accurate in my opinion is to let you know what a site purchased for $40,000 can become. Finally after watching the video I would just like to thank Oscar for being a totally cool person. Please bear in mind I had meet him before I know if I hadn’t I would of done things a little different. The bottom line is a good interviewer lets the person talk and already knows the answers to all the questions. I at least had one part right.

Site Value Report
The estimated value of http://blogcatalog.com is: $31,750,400
Now I’m not going to say what I think the site is worth exactly giving the present economy and future value of social networking sites. Let’s just say this for sure it’s worth over a million dollars PLUS
Not a bad investment 40k and 2 yrs
This value is calculated based on several factors shown above, including: Links, Traffic (Alexa), age of the domain, site category, domain keyword popularity, and overall occurrences of the domain name on the web.
So what did I really learn from all that
1 I should quit smoking
2 First impressions aren’t always accurate
3 How not to make a video ![]()
4 I should of made a smaller SIZE video setting I thought the battery died it was the card got full sorry.
5 That Oscar is the coolest person in San Antonio, besides me of course.
I stayed a while after and we discussed the REAL stuff ![]()
The real reason of this whole post was to keep reaching out. I was hoping Tony was there so we could hopefully finally meet face to face. The problem often on the internet is we often think we have a person sized up by what we see from their online presence. I found out often all these people that are so called FAMOUS or I should say well known are often real cool people IF YOU take the time to see who they really are. That was the real point of this post. Have you had love/hate relationships,business agreements,friends etc and found after you knew the REAL person it was WAY different then you thought? Please share
Thanks I’m going to GET BETTER WATCH ![]()
NOW you have to admit there was something FUNNY in that video.
Man YOUTUBE SUCKS AND TAKE FOREVER <<good example of a LONG TAIL KEYWORD
peep it
PS I had to do something while I was waiting ![]()
PSS you know I sent out a msg to many people ( On FB and twitter ) and sadly many didn’t respond, just a simple invite to check out some do follow links etc and you know what they only make me stronger and work harder and faster. Stay busy Bitches LOL
ABB- Always be building………………
Thanks I think this video tells it all
enjoy
it’s 420 now ![]()
Maybe I will get lucky and tone it down and get a interview with Tony to be continued ?
Time will tell
The real important thing after listening to somethings I said is that we can often be wrong about things.
Having the courage to admit that is where it’s at and how we can learn. No one is perfect and no one knows everything.
Thanks for stopping BY

Haha man that was extremely entertaining.
To think that a blogger master like you can just walk into blogcatalog and “interrogate” some guy is really funny
I should try this one time.
BLOGCATALOG!!! UP MY RANK!!!

I love your stuff man, and I see what you mean by keywords.
Good links, helps PAGE RANK and hopefully you bro out in the end.

Thanks everyone I just want to clarify two things
One Oscar is an awesome person
Two I had no skills at all and need to work on my people skills
desperately. Hey at least I’m trying
Also I wasn’t there to be confrontational I actually had some cool questions that were interesting I hoped to bloggers and to be able to show people the behind the scenes on a world wide known site.
I do regret if the lack of my skills and personality made it seem demanding. I know Oscar is an honest cool person so I didn’t have to be fake about anything.
Also regretfully the disk got full from the wrong setting because we talked about their new site they acquire for you twitter freaks called Twitterfeed judging by the stats I’m sure you heard of it but if you haven’t sign up and check it out it’s COOL PEACE Thanks
Hey John……60 Minutes just called…….they are looking for a replacement for Andy Rooney…….LOL

P.s Dugg, Bookmarked, Reddit. You rock.
When you take out your wife to dinner here in San Antonio, you only spend $12.00 bucks? Where?
John,
You would be the guy to knock a door down to one the popular social networks, just next time please visit SU and give them a word or two from me.
